I have 2 that are 11 months, and 1 that is 10 months. All of them know how to hold their bottle. That is something I try to drill into them as early as possible.
I have 6 kids (which includes my nephew), but does not include my 1 y/o daughter or my 5 y/o son who is here (2 half days).
All of my babies get here between 7:30 & 8. I usually let them go for about 20-30 minutes and lay them down. One of them is hungry when he gets here so I leave him in his pack and play and he ****s down a bottle. All of my babies hold their own bottles but only one of them will actually drink it while laying on the floor with all the other kids around. The other two will (usually) fuss but they won't stay laying down to take the bottles unless they are in their pack and plays where it's quiet. (Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't). Often they just keep sitting up and moving away from the bottles they leave on the floor while fussing...but as soon as you put them in the pack and play they will take it there. To me it's not really a big deal since they are fairly self sufficient. If I had to sit and feed each one of them their bottles then it would be a problem. It hasn't created any problems at home in all the years I've been doing this so I haven't changed anything.
They sleep till about 9ish...sometimes 9:30 if they sleep longer. I get them up. I change them and then let them play for a bit and then I feed them around 10:30. I start lunch for the others around 11:20 and the babies play until lunch is over and they are definitely ready for their naps again by around 12:00-12:30. They get their 2nd bottles just before the sleep.
Everyone does their afternoon nap together. I really don't have the kitchen space to feed everyone at the same time with this many littles. For now it works out...with the exception of the 3 years olds that I have who strive to misbehave.
